Totally agree. But we have an insurmountable problem. It's called the, "I won't grow anything but milling wheat", excuse. "It's the only crop I can grow well." "I need it for my rotations."
Personally, I'd switch it out to a variety that would yield, and not fall under the CWB umbrella for a one or two or three or... year experiment in STB. We, however, will never see such a shakeup, because my wheat attitude is #1CWRS high protein, and damn it I won't sell it for anything but that, and I won't grow anything but that. (Doesn't matter that it's $0.78.)
Views on here from choice and non choice alike will tell you that we have been doing STB for the last twenty years. Farmers have been slowly moving away from the CWB by growing non board grains.
I take from that what they are really saying is, "I won't sign on to a one or two year experiment in starvation, because it can't be starved out."
Wouldn't that be something if it had to source US grain to make enough money to pay their employees? I was under the impression that it can't compete without a monopoly.
STB, a better idea than the death by a thousand cuts process that continues.
